Ek’s home is everything I could have hoped for. It is across from a wonderful market, friendly, stylish restaurant, cafes are down the street, the skytrain is a short walk and yet the apartment feels like an oasis with the birds singing in the leafy tree outside the window. Ek was a superb host, extremely thoughtful band caring—from providing fresh flowers to cleanings—. I can recommend staying there enough. Thank you, Ek!
